Chapter 73

Ganging Up “Both of you, shut up!” Matthew shouted.

“So you’re protecting her, huh? You cradle your sister and let her call the shots.

Honestly, she doesn’t seem like your sister at all.

From the looks of it, she’s the one sleeping by your side.

You do whatever she says! You’re like her lapdog!” I couldn’t help but point it out.

“Come on, Chloe… What are you talking about Cont you show a little restraint? Think about the bigger.

picture?” Matthew’s face suddenly changed color, and he shoved me away, causing me to stumble.

“Ms. Chloe!” Johnson gasped, offering support as I steadied myself and glared at Matthew.

Melanie hid behind her brother and whispered venomously in his ear.

“Matt, can’t you see she’s only after your money? She only cares about herself.

Has she ever genuinely worried about you?” She turned to me.

“Chloe, remember that Tanum Corporation belongs to the Murphy family.

It legally belongs to Matt.

It has nothing to do with you.

So what if you were the founder? You can’t even touch it now!” “Matthew, is this what you want?” I asked, looking him straight in the eye.

His face reddened, but he said nothing.

I clenched my teeth and held back my tears.

“Let me be clear, Matthew.

Listen carefully if you’re as cruel and ungrateful as she described.

I built Tanum Corporation from the ground up and can create another one just like it.

“I don’t care if she’s your sister or the love of your life.

When Melanie smiled arrogantly behind her brother, I said, “Don’t try to outsmart me.

He’s still my man.

Your impatience won’t help.

You’ll have to go through me to reach certain things and people.” With that, I walked away.

Matthew shouted, “Stop!” His true colors were showing.

I paused, pulling my foot back and turning to face him.

“Is there something else you want to say?” Staring at him, I continued, “You dare raise your voice at me? Don’t forget, I didn’t cheat like you did.

There’s no need for you to gang up on me.

But at least you’re my husband, so I can understand when you act this way, +15 BONUS “But her…

She has no right! She eats my food, drinks my wine, and still wants to dump her problems on me.

Matthew, you’re pushing me too far!” With my plece said, I stormed out of my office.

The reporters waited outside.

They swarmed around me when they saw me come out.

I was pushed and pulled like a stringless puppet.

Still, they were invisible to me.

My ears rang, and I only wanted to find a quiet, healing place.

A firm hand suddenly reached out through the crowd and grabbed my arm, pulling me away.

My head was pounding as they shoved me into a car.

“…Chloe!” A voice called out to me softly.

In a daze, I turned my head to see the face.

It felt like I had seen it somewhere but couldn’t quite remember.

The car continued to drive, seemingly for a long time.

My head was throbbing with pain.

My phone kept ringing.

A hand snatched the phone from my hand, and finally, the world fell silent.

When the car stopped, I was pulled out.

I looked around, feeling disoriented and not knowing where I was,
